Keywords:
Penile strangulation, metal constricting object, managementAbstract
Objective: To report the management of penile strangulation caused by placement of metal constrictingobjects.
Method: From 2005 to 2015, there were 3 patients presenting with strangulation of penis from metal
constricting objects, including nut, ring and pipe. All objects were removed from patients without complications.
Conclusions: We propose a three-step process: Provide general anesthesia; protect the penile shaft with brain
spatula while fixing the constricting object with a gripping lock; and use proper cutting devices.
